From Stimulus to Science: The Changing Nature of Visual Perception
Science is about knowing the world that surrounds and is perceptually accessible to each human being. It is generally assumed that science activities or demonstrations provide perceptual data (explained by theory to be learned) in a unique way. In this article, a detailed investigation into the phenomenology of visual perception is described, which draws on data from a scientific research labor...
متن کاملAdvocacy and Objectivity in Science
Three strategies for scientific research in management are examined: advocacy, induction, and multiple hypotheses. Advocacy of a single dominant hypothesis is efficient, but biased. Induction is not biased, but it is inefficient. The multiple hypotheses strategy seems to be both efficient and unbiased. Despite its apparent lack of objectivity, most management scientists use advocacy. For exampl...
متن کاملVisual perception: Learning to see through noise
New studies show that perceptual learning does not reduce the noise inherent to the neuronal mechanisms of perception. Rather, learning boosts the brain's capability to extract and make use of the relevant outside signal - but where and how the neuronal changes occur is still unknown.
متن کاملLearning what to expect (in visual perception)
Expectations are known to greatly affect our experience of the world. A growing theory in computational neuroscience is that perception can be successfully described using Bayesian inference models and that the brain is "Bayes-optimal" under some constraints. In this context, expectations are particularly interesting, because they can be viewed as prior beliefs in the statistical inference proc...
متن کامل1 Introduction Perception , Causation , and Objectivity
Perceptual experience, that paradigm of subjectivity, constitutes our most immediate and fundamental access to the objective world. At least, this would seem to be so if commonsense realism is correct—if perceptual experience is (in general) an immediate awareness of mind-independent objects, and a source of direct knowledge of what such objects are like. Commonsense realism raises many questio...
